Concept Watch Design
Product Design, Prototyping
Design Brief
Create a functional wearable timepiece referencing late-90s esoteric watch design, specifically the Seiko H-Timetron's computer-inspired aesthetic. Project scope: technically functional watch for desk use, not ruggedized for daily wear. Focus on design and assembly rather than waterproofing or durability.
Design Process
Started with sketches and renderings to establish proportions and component relationships. CAD modeling in Fusion 360 and Shapr3D. I salvaged a digital module from a $15 Casio watch, and reverse-engineered the cavity dimensions for precise fit. Then designed a custom 3D-printed band to unify the body and strap aesthetically.
Final Prototype
Fully functional 3D-printed prototype. The current build is less impact-resistant than machined metal or cast resin and lacks a sufficient water seal. Future production versions would require metal or resin casting with tighter tolerances and proper sealing. The project provided hands-on experience in watch design, component integration, and prototype assembly. Currently functions as my desk clock.
